[ANNOUNCE] Release of Apache UIMA version 2.1.0-incubating

[Adam Lally <al...@alum.rpi.edu>]

ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Apache UIMA Team is pleased to announce the release of version
2.1.0-incubating.

Downloads of the project can be found at
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads.html.

Project Overview
------------------------
Unstructured Information Management applications are software systems
that analyze large volumes of unstructured information in order to
discover knowledge that is relevant to an end user. UIMA is a
framework and SDK for developing such applications. An example UIM
application might ingest plain text and identify entities, such as
persons, places, organizations; or relations, such as works-for or
located-at. UIMA enables such an application to be decomposed into
components, for example "language identification" -> "language
specific segmentation" -> "sentence boundary detection" -> "entity
detection (person/place names etc.)".

Each component must implement interfaces defined by the framework and
must provide self-describing metadata via XML descriptor files. The
framework manages these components and the data flow between them.
Components are written in Java or C++; the data that flows between
components is designed for efficient mapping between these languages.
UIMA additionally provides capabilities to wrap components as network
services, and can scale to very large volumes by replicating
processing pipelines over a cluster of networked nodes.

UIMA is a component framework for analysing unstructured content such
as text, audio and video. It comprises an SDK and tooling for
composing and running analytic components written in Java and C++,
with some support for Perl, Python and TCL.

Any contribution in the form of coding, testing, improving the
documentation, and reporting bugs is always welcome. For more
information on how to get involved with the development of UIMA,
please visit http://incubator.apache.org/uima/get-involved.html.

Note  : Apache UIMA is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache
Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly
accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the
project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
